I suppose this shouldn't surprise me, but... There's a G.I Joe movie coming out? Live action? Looks like it's aimed at adults?

Movie poster

I really fear what they might do with this movie. :/ G.I. Joe was my favorite cartoon ever. It was my first "fandom" ever (though it's odd to call it a fandom when it was all offline/pre-Internet). I can only imagine the awful things they're going to do. :/

Isn't it being done by the same people who did Transformers? I just assumed because I thought Hasbro still had the rights to both. Then again, I might be waaaaaay behind the times.

No clue at all, the movie poster is the one and only thing I've seen about it. I could go check imdb, but... so lazy.

Oh jeez if you are right all hope is lost for this movie...

Tell me there's a nude scene. I just want to see if GI Joe really has just a smooth bump down there.

I'm sure as long as the women weren't 'smooth', the movie's target audience wouldn't have an issue with it. :P

it would be interesting if... they "enacted" the war against taliban except this time Cobra (Osama) is killed instead of still on the run.

would be great if the president looked like bushjr

I'm worried it'll be something just like that. Make it a clear play on the current war, 'Rah rah America!', totally one-sided, the G.I. Joe stuff just a thin mask on all that. :/

it'd be sociopolicial commentary... similar to how dances with wolves/ born on the 4th of july/ etc were.

It always scares me when Hollywood decides to take on one of these iconic stories...

Yes. :/ I can hope for the best, but... not going to hold my breath. :/

With the way you phrased your statement about the movie coming out...It made me think of something like this:

Thistle: And now I know!
Achika: And knowing is half the battle!
Veloxe: ...what's the other half?
Achika: Killing those commie bastards!


Because I can't think of the first part without thinking of that second part I saw in a flash cartoon many years ago. =>

*rolls* I haven't seen the flash, but that sounds amusing!

Whoa, that looks just like the default Mass Effect main character. >_>

When they first announced this movie G.I. Joe was an "international force" much in the vein of the UN / NATO. There was such overwhelming backlash that G.I. Joe was no longer a "real American hero" that Hasbro backpedaled.

Beanie enthusiasm level: Somewhere below lukewarm until word of mouth confirms this is the Real G.I. Joe.

Go Joe o.ob

The hell? I mean okay, if the cartoon were made today I could see international being more reasonable, but it's not. The whole idea behind it is that they're American heros... Sheesh.
